Project Title:
Carroll County Regional Nexus Project

Project Description:
Carrollton Utilities and Carroll County Water District #1 have teamed up to propose the Carroll Co. Regional Nexus project. Nexus means a connection and to be the center or focus. CU and CCWD are definitely connected and focused on our quest to provide our customers with high quality water and service. CU - Carrollton Utilities will be replacing over 4400 LF of old cast iron and undersized galvanized water lines in the downtown district of Carrollton. Additionally water meters that are old and in hard to read locations will be replaced or relocated. CCWD - Carroll Co. Water will be constructing a new 750,000 gallon storage tank and associated distribution lines to provide storage for the existing and proposed needs along the industrial-residential area of U.S. 42 corridor. The new tank will provide capacity during routine maintenance and emergencies for both public water utilities. Additionally two older and smaller ground storage tanks will be eliminated as well as 4 pressure reducing stations. The elimination of two original 1960's water storage tanks will enhance the water quality. As these two tanks were built in an era that does not reflect today's industrial standards in both structure and the hydraulics of either system.

Need For Project: Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
CU - the replacing of the old (nearly 100 years old) cast iron lines with larger PVC lines and eliminating the small (2" and less) galvanized lines will save CU money in the long term by reducing operational cost due to smoother lines, maintenance costs by virtually eliminating repairs in the street and by replacing old and hard to read meters ensure that our customers are getting proper service. CCWD - the construction of a new 750,000 storage tank and new transmission/distribution lines will allow CCWD to improve the water quality to its existing customers. During emergencies and worse case scenarios such as a possible contamination from neighboring water system that may be encountered, the additional storage will allow other utilities to shut down their treatment process until the threat has been cleared. Additionally 2 - 100,000 gallon tanks constructed in the early 1960's will be eliminated. This will reduce CCWD's maintenance costs, increase water turnover, increase system pressure and improve water quality. Four pressure reducing stations can then be eliminated which will save energy, maintenance costs and reduction in distribution pipe failures. Therefore reducing the amount of water loss. The control stations will be maintained/exercised to allow assurance that when routine inspections and preventative maintenance repairs are recommended then these tasks can easily be achieved without any interruptions to the customers. This will allow a longevity service life of this investment.

Project Alternatives:

Alternate A:

Note: If project includes the construction of a new treatment plant or upgrade to existing plant, please explain regionalization options here.

CU - leave old cast iron mains in service and deal with the ongoing maintenance issues

CCWD - Construct a smaller tank that will meet the present needs but not handle future demands.

Alternate B:

CU - break the project into smaller pieces (i.e.. one block at time) which will inconvenience the property owners on Main Street for several years instead of all at once.

CCWD - Do a rehab of the existing tanks and pressure reducing stations which will meet the current needs but does not allow for future growth.

Green Infrastructure:

Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:
